Watching Dead Leaves Fall

I have watched the river bed dry up
 Covered by the orange clay dusted and cracked and peeling
 Know that time is the enemy
 If I'm not ready now I may never be
 Feel all the indifference locked up and cauterized
 Coursing through my veins
 Let all dreams come crashing down
 I have relied on wasting all I could be
 I've passed the time (passed the time)
 Watching dead leaves fall
 The hopelessness of what we learn
 From day of birth to final breath
 Have I dreamed though my life or is there still a chance
 How the fuck can you know how this feels
 I've come from nothing
 I've got nothing to lose
 Day after day I die a little more
 Passing the time watching dead leaves fall
 Knowing that in my time on earth
 I have failed
 I lay down among the fallen
